Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Layer each with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, sour cream, chipotle sauce, and tortilla strips if using.
Fold each tortilla into a burrito, tucking in the sides and rolling tightly.
Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese on the outside of each burrito and gently press to adhere.
In a large skillet or griddle, melt butter or oil over medium heat. Grill each burrito, cheese side down first, until golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side.
Serve hot with extra sauce or salsa on the side if desired.

Notes

You can use ground turkey or a plant-based alternative for a lighter version.
Make it spicier by adding jalapeños or hot sauce inside.
Use store-bought or homemade nacho cheese sauce.
Leftovers can be reheated on a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
